Challenge Task 1 of 1

In an ecommerce database we have a products table with the columns id, name, category, description, price and stock_count.

The price is in USD. Write a query that returns the product name and price in Pounds Sterling (GBP). The current exchange rate is 1.4 USD to every 1 GBP. Alias the calculated price to price_gbp. Round to two decimal places. 

SELECT ROUND(price/1.4*1, 2) AS price_gbp FROM products;

The instructions ask for a "query that returns the product name and price ...", but the query shown here returns only the price.

Also, you won't need to multiply anything by 1 — that won't have any effect on the value.
